I'm sorry for not getting back to you sooner, but I've been out of town this week and just got home tonight. The front seats are aftermarket, as I chose a set of 40-20-40's that fit the truck best (IMO). I then, had the back fold-down bench seat, upholstered to try to match the front seats as close as possible for a different sort of custom look.

I'll try to get better pictures, but I'm pretty sure there are a few of them in my build galleries.

Here's my Supercab F250 4x4. Fresh Tmeyer 400. It's not the prettiest thing but it's damn sure the biggest thing in the parking lot at work. The flatbed was a nice addition as well.



Installed a set of seats (front and rear from a 1986 Ford Supercab. Rear seats were almost a bolt in, front required new holes.



Time for a paint job now.

Pics of the rear seats from the 86 supercab in your truck plz.
You said they were direct bolt in?
I've been looking to upgrade my seats in my 76 supercab, and know that the fronts interchange easily, but haven't heard anything about the rears. I would love to see them.

I will have to go back and look at them again. I looked through them right after I commented about it but can't remember if I saw any pictures of them. So it's just the stock back seat but re-upholstered? Those back seats are tiny I don't know how anyone sat in them.

Thanks for the link. It actually looks just like the one that came in my 76 stock. I think they're the exact same seats. I was looking to upgrade them, I think with that info I will probably just reuphoster them to match whatever i swap in front

How much did the TMeyer setup end up costing you? I want to do it, but get a ZF5 5 speed to put behind it as well.

Why did you sell your crew, only to start over with a smaller cab?

The crew was my first shot at a full on build. There was things that i didnt like but i really didnt want to tear it all back apart. So i learned from it and started over.

Haha! You crazy kids I learned a lot from my 74. The biggest thing was that I should have bought a crew to begin with. Family makes the truck thing hard to do unless you get a bigger cab.
